Abstract excerpt
Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) is a global vegetable crop and powerful model for sex determination, fruit development and vascular biology. We present high-quality genome assemblies for 125 cultivated and wild accessions, capturing worldwide genetic diversity. Syntenic gene family analysis characterized 37,897 gene families and revealed haplotype diversity shaped by geographic expansion. Comparative analyses...
